JamiePatterson Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Hey folks, you kiddo wants to catch one of the “golden trout” they recently stocked in the white. Any clue where they put em in at?
netboy Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 I heard they stocked them at Bull Shoals State Park, White Hole, Wildcat, Cotter and Buffalo Shoals. They won't last long since the eagles and herons love them because the poor things have absolutely no natural camouflage and are easy pickins for the birds. That said they are interesting looking fish. I have caught some on the Guadalupe river in Texas and actually caught one that was about 5lbs. JamiePatterson 1
JamiePatterson Posted May 11, 2019 Author Posted May 11, 2019 I did a little more searching. Sounds like they only put around 100 golden rainbows in... oh well, lol
netboy Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 They are intermingled with the regular rainbows. They are basically a freak color variation of a rainbow trout. They aren't the true Golden Trout they have out west in the California mountains. They are called Golden Rainbow trout or some call them Golden Palomino Rainbow trout. Here's where they came from... History of Palomino Rainbow Trout “Golden Trout” The golden rainbow trout originated from a single rainbow trout that was spawned in the fall of 1954 in West Virginia. This trout’s body color was a chimera of golden and normally pigmented tissue. JamiePatterson 1
